Dhaka Tribune’s “I’m made in Bangladesh” campaign showcases a few of the many inspirational Bangladeshis who are making a mark in all aspects of life.
As we commemorate the 44th anniversary of our independence, their stories provide a valuable reminder of the enormous abilities our people have when they are given the opportunity to unleash their creativity and talent.
While the political turmoil afflicting the country at the moment is far from ideal, let us take time out to congratulate the exceptional achievements we have made as an independent nation.
Bangladesh’s people have made remarkable progress in diverse fields and, in a relatively short span of time, have brought the economy to a position of consistent growth with tremendous potential to grow much further.
Our women are not only climbing mountains, their efforts lie behind millions of pieces of garments the world over. Some of our students have even gone all the way to NASA for a robotics competition using recycled products, despite the limited resources and education our universities can provide on the subject.
Let us renew our focus and attention on the positive indicators that are taking Bangladesh forward.
Ours is a nation full of young, vibrant individuals who have, and shall continue to make their country proud.
The diversity, quality, and competitiveness of our products and brands are becoming ever stronger.
We have good cause to hope that, given goodwill and a more conducive environment to investors, everyone will have a chance to make real the dream of Sonar Bangla.
